           "Minna.. I just wanted to tell you all that I'm sorry for leaving without a proper goodbye."  Ryuki apologize then bow. Everyone were quite for a moment then a certain red-haired overly enthusiastic eiji bounce at her.

           "unyaaaa!  Im really sad when you left us ryuki-chan ! But nonetheless, apologies accepted." he said then petted me.

           She broke with a glittered smile that makes eiji blush. Then oishi spoke.

           "We understand, ryuki. Don't worry about us anymore. You should focus on pursuing your dreams now." Oishi said with a determined smile.

           "Saa.. That's right ryuki-chan." A smiling tensai said.

           "Im really sorry, chibisuke. I didn't say anything even to you because Im afraid that I might change my mind. You knew how long we've been away with each other.

Ryuki Pov :

           After that, both rikkaidai and hyotei joined us. Atobe being a narsicistic one, also demanded an apology while yanagi and the rest of rikkai bombarded me so many questions. All in all, everything went fine.
           After 2days, Kunimitsu came back. He's the real sub coach for team ryuzaki. They also test his capability as the sub coach. Im really planning to go back to america now but they've asked me to stay longer. So I became on of the volunteers. Later that night, everyone is planning to have a welcoming party.

           "senpai ? Have you taste the food yet ?" Tomoka asked me. I went over the food then taste it. After, I gave her a nod which made her giggled.

           "Horio would be the speaker. The rest I think should prepare the tables and chairs." I said. They complied soon.

           I was walking on the hallway to fetch the players when a familiar figure is also walking on my direction.

           He gave a firm nod. "Ryuki.."

           "Kunimitsu..." I replied back.
